Key Issues In The Development Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Ray C. Hillam Apr 1966

Key Issues In The Development Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Ray C. Hillam

BYU Studies

This article briefly outlines the history of the conflict between Communist China and the Soviet Union. Before 1949, tensions grew as matters of territory, national pride, and specific approaches to Communist theory in the two nations clashed. In 1950, when the Communist party seized control of the government of China, the two nations signed a friendship treaty. However, tensions slowly began to build until 1960, when the Chinese began talking about the inevitability of war.

Cultural Implications Of The Sino-Soviet Conflict, Paul V. Hyer Apr 1966

Cultural Implications Of The Sino-Soviet Conflict, Paul V. Hyer

BYU Studies

The Sino-Soviet conflict is based as much in culture as it is in border disputes or ideological approaches to communism. The Chinese have lived for much of their collective past in isolation from the world and with a strong sense of ethnocentricity. China’s ancient traditions continue to shape the modern country’s attitudes and policies. If the United States wants to better understand China, it must begin by strengthening its understanding of the rich Chinese culture.

A Geographic View Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Alan H. Grey, Russell N. Horiuchi Apr 1966

A Geographic View Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Alan H. Grey, Russell N. Horiuchi

BYU Studies

This article looks at the impact geographical area has on the Sino-Soviet conflict. Although China and the Soviet Union have similar ideologies, both countries’ imperialist drives makes expanding borders inevitable. In addition, China’s geographical deficiencies—the small proportion of land suitable for agricultural development—and its growing population put pressure on the Chinese government to look elsewhere for resources to sustain its people. In this context, border conflicts are inevitable despite common ideologies.

The Bridge, William L. Knecht Jan 1966

The Bridge, William L. Knecht

BYU Studies

This article examines a little-remembered piece of history that connects early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with Abraham Lincoln. In 1856, the steamboat Effie Afton crashed into a much-contested and newly completed railroad bridge over the Mississippi River. A lawsuit ensued, and Abraham Lincoln, who at the time was one of the premiere lawyers on the frontier, along with Norman Judd and Joseph Knox, defended the bridge owners. This, one of Lincoln’s most celebrated cases, had an impact on immigrating Mormons, for whom railroad bridges made westward travel considerably easier.

A Historical Study Of Silver Reef: Southern Utah Mining Town, Alfred Bleak Stucki Jan 1966

A Historical Study Of Silver Reef: Southern Utah Mining Town, Alfred Bleak Stucki

Theses and Dissertations

While a number of short articles and histories of Silver Reef have been written, they tend either to be anecdotal in character or to emphasize the merely sensational aspects of the mining camp. These writings have failed to investigate some of the most basic sources of information concerning this highly interesting mining epic in Southern Utah. Therefore, there remains a real need for a thoroughly researched and documented history of silver Reef - a need that this thesis tries to meet.

A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland Jan 1966

A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland

Theses and Dissertations

Previous studies have indicated that the moral development of the child may follow a "developmental" process. That is, the child progresses through an invariant series of stages, each characterized by certain modes of thought. As the child passes from one stage to another, he integrates the old stage into the new one. Kohlberg proposed a hierarchy of six stages through which the child would progress on his way to moral maturity. His hypothesis has been supported by empirical evidence.

Research findings have indicated that the Mormon culture appeared to be different in values and moral behavior than other United States …

An Analysis Of Selected Changes In Major Editions Of The Book Of Mormon - 1830-1920, Jeffrey R. Holland

Theses and Dissertations

As the title indicates, this thesis is a consideration of selected changes that have been made in major editions of the Book of Mormon.

Because this kind of bias is usually an obstruction to objective scholarship, this study has been undertaken by one firmly within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to document not only what changes have been made, but …
